Welcome to the August Edition of Tower News
We provide the Tower Monthly newsletter to you to keep you informed and up to date with important news, including any changes that are happening in the Strata Industry. It contains news and articles relating to apartment living, particular to the South East Queensland region – and this link will take you to all the informative blogs posted recently on our website.
Unfortunately, COVID-19 continues to have an impact on our lives, the lives of our families, friends, acquaintances and those within our respective body corporate communities – and the wider community.
The situation in Victoria (particularly the number of deaths amongst the elderly), hotspots in New South Wales and New Zealand (which had been COVID free for a period of 102 days) has shocked us all and sounded warning bells to not become complacent.
Our borders are closed again which will impact on all Queenslanders, particularly those businesses which rely heavily on tourism, BUT schools break up on Friday 18 September and there will be many children and parents looking to get out of home and holiday – somewhere! Queensland has some fabulous destinations. The Gold Coast theme parks (Sea World, Movie World & Wet'n'Wild) are open for business and Dreamworld re-opens on 16 September - and further North, the Great Barrier Reef is calling. If you live on the Gold Coast and are not planning to stray too far, support your local businesses, venture inland or just get yourself up to the hinterland and visit places like Mt Tamborine and any of the many attractions, ‘foodie places’ or wineries.
Now is the time to review your COVID Safe plans.
To keep COVID-19 at bay, all bodies corporate need to ensure that the Directions of the Chief Health Officer are complied with in relation to their common property areas and communal facilities. The continuation of enhanced cleaning routines and measures such as social distancing, personal hygiene including frequent washing of hands, coughing into the elbow and those with COVID-19 like symptoms not using communal facilities, need to be encouraged. Appropriate signage on your complex, and easy access to disinfectant sprays and wipes for those entering your premises and having to touch door handles and lift call buttons, can be very helpful.
Compliance with these measures will help guard against community transmission should COVID-19 re-emerge in Queensland.
We are very happy for you to forward our newsletter onto family, friends or colleagues - even if they are not part of the Tower Body Corporate community.
Kind Regards,
The Tower Body Corporate Team
